Though I may be biased in my roots (lmao), there’s an obvious parallel between the needs of a shrub and that of a human. It’s need to be pruned, it’s ability to be shaped, and it’s year-round beauty. I think of this often. However, I have an odd foundational interest in a shrub on its own, nothing more. Just look at them. I love shrubs, and try to take a photo when I see ones that I like. I’m glad my friends send me pictures of ones they see.
